I wonder what percentage of R2R ‘members’ are less than two years in the hobby? I sometimes look back at older threads and the majority of the posters are long gone. People new to the hobby don’t have the experience to know how to react to a particular issue .... and there are a chorus of equally inexperienced reefers validating an ‘overreaction’. My personal favorite is ‘tank must be leaking because there’s salt creep in the bottom rim’. Bunch of folks chime in that the tank should be emptied immediately and replaced because ‘you dint want xxx gallons of water on the floor’. Maybe the tank IS leaking, or maybe some water got splashed down the outside LOL.
None of that means treatment of something like ich won’t require copper treatment. Maybe a few vitamins can help, or maybe they cannot. I do agree that the trend to blast a new fish with a prophylactic cocktail of meds may have gone a bit too far.
